Balancing Fee: We charge a 175-token balancing fee whenever you list your book in the public review library. This is essential not only to prevent inflation but also to provide tokens to new trial members and encourage them to use the service and leave reviews. 

Without this fee, the balance between books and reviewers would be disrupted. This would lead to a slower review rate. 

This small fee helps us stop token inflation and ensures a healthy, active community so we can all enjoy a steady flow of reviews because our system will stay balanced.

Low Word Count Listing Fee: Because these books tend to be the most popular for reviewing, get reviews so fast, and are considerably easier to review, they have a listing fee of 150 tokens which acts as a token burn. This helps keep the network of reviewers to books balanced for both low and high word count books. 

Verified Purchase: For books offered as purchases, we provide 250 extra tokens for every dollar spent, in addition to the base token value.
